MEDICINE-CABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 5, 1914.

Application filed December 14, 1911. Serial No. 665,610.

To all whom. it may concern Be it known that I, LoUIs F. EISELE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ItIedicine-Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in medicine cabinets, and more particularly to doors therefor, the object of the invention being to provide a door of this character which is extremely cheap to manufacture, which is strong and durable in use, which is ornamental in appearance, and which effectually closes the edges of the cabinet, and forms a door of extreme simplicity and attractiveness in design.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims. In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1, is a view in front elevation illustrating my improvements. Fig. 2, is a view in section on the line 22 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3, is a view in section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

1, represents the body or medicine cabinet proper which is preferably provided at its front edge with an angle iron facing 2 secured in place by screws 3. The angle iron facing at the right hand edge of the cabinet is connected by a hinge 4 with my improved door 5, and this hinge extends throughout the length of the door as shown. The door is composed of four bars, the bottom bar 6 and the bar 7 at the free edge of the door being alike, while the bar 8 at the hinge edge of the door and the bar 9 at the top of the door differ slightly in construction, yet conform in appearance to said bars 6 and 7 on the outer face of the door. Bars 6 and 7 are of general channel shape having inwardly projecting flanges 10 connected by webs 11 with head bars 12, and these head bars 12 project out both sides of the webs 11, so that the outer portions of said head bars overlap the edges of the cabinet. Bar

8 is'precisely like the bars 6 and 7, except head bar 12, and is provided with a separable angle iron 15 secured thereto by screws 16. The bars 6, 7, 8, and 9, at their meeting edges, are cut at an angle and brazed together, no screws or rivets whatever being employed to connect these bars, and by brazing them a strong rigid cheap frame is had.

17, represents a beveled mirror, and 18 a backing there against. This mirror 17 and the backing 18 are inserted into the door frame from the top, when angle bar 15 is removed. Angle bar 15 is then secured in place by the screws 16 and the several flanges 10 of all of the bars 6, 7, 8, and 15 are provided with openings for the reception of screws 19 which are screwed into the backing part 18, so as to hold the mirror rigid in the door.

Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A door for medicine cabinets comprising four bars at right angles to each other having beveled ends brazed together, the two uprights and the bottom bars of said frame constituting channel bars, while the top bar has a smooth inner face, whereby a mirror and a backing may be inserted into said frame from the top, and an angle bar removably secured to the inner face of the top bar confining the upper edge of the mirror and the backing in the frame, all of said bars at their outer edges having integral heads constituting rounded bars, said heads at three sides of the door extending in both directions beyond the intermediate member of the channel bars and adapted to overlap the frame of a medicine cabinet, substantially as described. I

2. The combination with a medicine cabinet having a rectangular door receiving opening therein, of a door for said cabinet comprising four bars at right angles to each other having beveled ends brazed together, three of said bars having heads at their outer edges extending in both directions beyond the intermediate member of the channel bars and overlapping the edges of the cabinet, hinges connecting the third of said bars to said cabinet, the uprights and the horizontal In testimony whereof I have signed my members of said door constituting channel i name to this specification in the presence of bars, a mirror and backing supported in two subscribing witnesses. said channel bars, and an angle bar secured LOUT S F. EISELE. to the upper bar and confining the edges of \Vitnesses:

l l i the mirror and the backing, substantially as R. H. KRENKEL, described. CHAS. E. Po'rTs.
